Join us for an immersive evening in this participatory performance with artist Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley

Known for their performance and video game-based art, artist Danielle Braithwaite-Shirley will be presenting a game-based performance in which audiences are able to take part. This event will be held in the South Tank in Tate Modern where you, the players, will explore various topics in a digital world created by the artist. Here is the invitation. The rest is up to you:

THERE HAS ONLY BEEN FIRE

THERE HAS ONLY BEEN POLARISATION

THERE HAS ONLY BEEN INTOLERANCE

WE CAN'T REMAIN LIKE THIS

WE ALL HOLD A ROLE IN THE WORLD WE ARE BUILDING

COME AND FIND OUT WHAT ROLE YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING

THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCE

YOU WILL DETERMINE WHAT WE TALK ABOUT

AND WHERE WE GO

YOU MAY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

This event has been provided by Tate Gallery on behalf of Tate Enterprises Ltd.

Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley is a Berlin and London-based artist. They received an BA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London in 2019. Brathwaite-Shirley works in animation, sound, performance and video game development.
